A short walk up Blue Hill Avenue from Mattapan Square, passing by several landmarks: first, Mattapan Station, the end of the Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Rail (which connects Mattapan to the Boston subway system, or T); second, the "Rise" statues in Mattapan Square; third, Capitol Electric Supply Co. at 1601 Blue Hill Avenue, the former site of the Oriental Theatre (1929-1971); Simco's Hot Dog stand at 1509 Blue Hill Avenue; several major churches, including St. Angela Merici at 1548 Blue Hill Avenue, and Jubilee Christian Church at 1500 Blue Hill Avenue; the overpass above the commuter rail and (potential) future site of the Blue Hill Avenue commuter rail stop (just north of Simco's); and finally, the iconic sign on the side of Mattapan Car Wash and Quick Lube at 1480 Blue Hill Avenue, "Mattapan is Best."
